Black Samurai - Jim Kelly (1977) - Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter

Next up we have a 1977 action film starring Jim Kelly. Another pretty awful film on all accounts (acting, action, plot and general naffness) with the one redeeming factor of Kelly's character driving around in a blue Ferrari Dino.

Kelly is Robert Sands, an agent of D.R.A.G.O.N (Defense Reserve Agency Guardian Of Nations - I'm already cringing), who is pulled away from his tennis holiday to investigate the kidnapping of his ex-girlfriend, Toki (Essie Lin Chia), the daughter of the Hong Kong "Ambassador".

Kelly tries desperately to imitate his Enter the Dragon success and style but just looks really crap here because it's obvious he can't kick, or choreograph fights, for toffee. Anyway, the opening scenes of Toki walking through the streets of Hong Kong as she is followed by her kidnappers may or may not have been library footage with a movie scene written around them. I find it really hard to believe that this movie spent any money actually filming in Hong Kong, but then again Lin Chia is a legit Hong Kong actress - although the scene is done Gambit-style and we never see her face in the HK footage. You can decide for yourself because, again, I have had to rely on an online source for this film on Daily Motion: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8fub0u.

The film starts off with some footage shot in and around Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter.
